On Tuesday, PBS aired a new episode of Frontline featuring an investigative segment by the Washington Post's Dana Priest, one of the chief reporters behind that paper's superb investigative series. In her segment called Priest interviews ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û policy counsel Mike German about domestic surveillance and the post-9/11 proliferation of fusion centers across the country.
Mike talks about the inherent threat to civil liberties the national security establishment poses, especially to First Amendment-protected activities such as taking pictures in public or participating in public protests. Mike says: "There is insufficient oversight of the fusion centers to ensure that they are only collecting the appropriate information."
